High-Performance

Mine Winding & Crane Rope

Overview

Our steel wire rope, from Bridon Bekaert, is engineered for reliability in the most demanding applications. These ropes offer superior tensile strength, crush & abrasion resistance, and longevity, making them a vital component for mine winding, mobile and overhead cranes, anchoring and load-bearing operations.

Benefits
  • Durable Construction: Manufactured using high-carbon steel, the ropes are designed to maintain integrity in extreme applications. Typical constructions include but are not limited to: round strand, langs lay, right hand lay, left hand lay, triangular strand, and dyform construction.
    Round strand performance is enhanced by dyforming, which allows for increased breaking loads for the same diameter, reduced interface on drive sheaves and pulleys, increased resistance to crushing and improved fatigue life.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Galvanised options withstand corrosive environments, including those in marine or chemical industries.
  • Versatility: Available in various constructions, such as 6×19, 6×26, 6×36, 8×19, 8×26, or 8×36, 18×7, 18×19, 19×7, 34×7, 34×19, to suit specific applications like hoisting, winching, and crane operations.
    These ropes are available in Dyform (Now Called Compacted), which harnesses high-tech, low-stretch in ropes.
Service Offering
  • Mine Winder: Manufactured to meet and exceed the demands of the mining industry.  The Bridon range of winder ropes is suitable for drum winders, stage winders, blair winders, friction hoists, haulage and conveyor applications.
  • Mobile crane: Bridon is an OEM supplier to many OEM crane manufacturers, which include and not limited to, mobile harbour cranes, container handlers, offshore cranes and telescopic cranes.
  • Industrial crane: Bridon high-performance rope reduces downtime in arduous applications, including ladle cranes, overhead cranes, indoor or outdoor, steel works skips, tower cranes, foundries and steel mills.
  • Construction: Tower cranes, telescopic cranes, truck-mounted cranes, crawler cranes, piling rigs & rotary drilling rigs.
